Minecraft Xbox One Edition world deleting itself overnight

jim2jam · Feb 14, 2019

My friend had a world that was apparently deleted overnight because when we went to play it the world was not on his list of worlds. He tried clearing his local saved games already and that didn't seem to work. Is there anything he can do or is that world
gone forever?

Hi Jim2Jam,

Thanks for reaching out to us today. I'm sorry to hear about the world disappearing on Minecraft. I would like to ask have you guys attempted any more troubleshooting steps to see if you're able to recover the world? If you haven't already
I would recommend trying toremove and re-add your
account.

Side Note: It is very important to make sure you know the primary email/password to the account before removing it from the console.

Also, I would recommend checking out the
Minecraft Forums to see if they have any additional information that may help.

Please do make sure that both consoles are running "Minecraft", and not "Minecraft Xbox One Edition".

While "Minecraft" is able to load "Xbox One Edition" worlds, you can't save/import "Minecraft" worlds into the "Xbox One Edition".

Check the game tile before you play the game:

Minecraft Xbox One Edition has "Xbox One Edition" in the name itself, and shows the game Character "Steve" with a pickaxe and a dog leaving a forest with some critters following them.

The Xbox Minecraft without "Xbox One Edition" is only named "Minecraft" and shows the game characters standing on a hilltop with several animals and mobs around them.

So really make sure that you are using "Minecraft" on both console, and not "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" on your original Xbox One, and "Minecraft" on the Xbox One S.

In this case you can transfer worlds worlds from Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition to Minecraft Xbox One Edition or/and Minecraft Xbox One Edition to Minecraft.

Cheers!

What version of Minecraft are you running, and how was the world deleted? That will greatly impact if it's possible, and if so, how to recover the world. Is this on Xbox One or another platform? And if on Xbox One, is it the Xbox One Edition or Bedrock
edition? It is quite possible, likely even, that the world is not recoverable, and for that I'm sorry, but depending there might be an opportunity to recover it.

Minecraft saves are backed up on both the Cloud and on the console. Unfortunately if you the saved world has already been deleted from the old Xbox, there's no way of getting the worlds back. I suffered it when transferring my Xbox One Edition worlds to
Bedrock edition, unfortunately nothing can be done.
